OK, I got a few questions for whoever can answer them. I am planning on buying this camaro for $300 bucks that I found and doesnt have a motor and tranny. I am planning on getting that camaro within the next 2 weeks and I am planning on a total re-body and a diff powertrain and interior and alot of different things to go along with it. I know you can do a big block swap on these cars but the thing is is that I am not to familiar with the whole electrical side to the motors. The motor that I want ( Recon 496 stroker w/550hp ) does not come with a distributer or any other electrical units. So this is where the question comes in. What would you suggest for a complete electrical system. I was also wondering if I would need the stock ECU at all because of a different motor but if I were to get digital gauges where would they plug into and the tach to? I am also planning in the future to procharge this beast to achieve some real nice ponies!

 

Just go Non-Computer...Get a normal HEI setup. You won't need the ecu for anything...Get mechanical guages....The HEI will have a tach plug on it. And then just go with a good non-computer carb on the motor....

 

I would but I really want these gauges, mabey they dont need to be pluged into the UCU?

 

They sell Digital Guages to work with Mechanical setups...How do you think they have them work in older cars?
